# Edit image (https://openclip.app/docs/tools/edit-image/)



Edit image bundles three quick image operations: compress, resize, and crop. Upload an image, pick an operation, download the result.

Open it at [https://openclip.app/tools/edit-image](https://openclip.app/tools/edit-image), or press Cmd-K and type "compress", "resize", or "crop".

## Compress image [#compress-image]

Shrink the file size, optionally changing the format at the same time.

| Option  | Choices                                                            | Default |
| ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------- |
| Quality | High (90), Balanced (80), Smaller file (60), or any value 1 to 100 | 80      |
| Format  | JPG, PNG, WebP                                                     | JPG     |

Both options sit under advanced, so the default run is a one-click JPG at quality 80. Lower quality means a smaller file; below 60 you will start to see artifacts in photos. WebP usually beats JPG at the same quality.

## Resize image [#resize-image]

Scale to exact dimensions. Both fields are required; there is no aspect-lock, so mismatched values will stretch the image.

| Option      | Range     |
| ----------- | --------- |
| Width (px)  | 1 to 8192 |
| Height (px) | 1 to 8192 |

## Crop image [#crop-image]

Cut the image to a region. Two ways to define it:

* **Aspect ratio**: pick a preset and adjust the centered crop.
* **Pixel box**: drag in the visual crop editor, which sets exact X, Y, width, and height.

| Option                      | Choices                                    | Default |
| --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ | ------- |
| Aspect ratio                | 1:1, 9:16, 16:9, 4:5                       | 9:16    |
| X / Y / Width / Height (px) | Free-form pixel values via the crop editor | N/A     |

## Output format [#output-format]

Compress outputs whichever format you pick (JPG by default). Resize and crop output JPG.

## Watermarks and limits [#watermarks-and-limits]

Image edits are visual output, so free-plan results carry a watermark; paid plans remove it. Runs count against your daily tool quota (10 on free, 500 on paid) and inputs follow your plan's size cap (200 MB free, 2 GB paid). See [Tools overview](https://openclip.app/docs/tools/overview/).
